This is a rare 1860s lithograph by F. Blumner of the Hudson
River, the United States Military Academy and the "Queen of the Hudson," the
steamship Mary Powell. The Mary Powell and the West Point Military
Academy are shown in greater detail below. The print published byLyon & Co 147 Spring St. N.Y. will come to you matted and framed
as shown below. The print inside the matt measures25.5 x
19 inches and the framed size is 32.5 x 27.5 inches. This large view is in the
style of Currier & Ives and shows a plethora of river traffic and railroads.

The detailed view below shows the West Point Military Academy on
the bluff above the river and the Mary Powell steamship identified by on
side and on its flag. The Mary Powell first went into service on the
Hudson River in 1861 and the print is probably from that period to as late as
the 1870s. A very similar view, apparently copied from this one, was done
by
H. Schile in 1874.

The detailed view below is of the right bottom corner of the
lithograph and it shows two people on horseback, lots of sailing vessels on the
Hudson and two railroads on the edge of the river.

There is some scattered foxing, most notably
on the top right margin, and it looks like some repaired tears, but the lovely
large print makes a very nice impression. Below is a picture of it framed and
glazed (with a reflection of the photographer) as it will come to you.
